This has a duality between some cooler-climate sourcing (some downgraded Bin 707 material went here) and warmer-region fruit from McLaren Vale and the Barossa, delivering impressive flesh and fruit weight. Really builds and fills and holds a wide-open finish. Drink or hold.

Saturated ruby. Cherry pit, blackcurrant, woodsmoke, pipe tobacco and a vanilla nuance on the expressive nose. Juicy, palate-caressing dark fruit flavors show an appealing mix of power and energy and pick up an exotic floral pastille note on the back half. Finishes smooth, sappy and long, with even tannins and echoes of sweet dark berries and peppery spices. -- Josh Raynolds

This is a strong vintage of Bin 407, a multiregional South Australian Cab. It opens with aromas of chocolate, cola, plush plum and black cherry, backed by accents of mint and other crushed herbs. On the palate, fine, chalky tannins slink around silky fruit and savory herbs. Poised and harmonious, this has the potential to age until 2030, but is drinking well right now. - CHRISTINA PICKARD

Deep in primary colour, this is distinctively Cabernet on the nose, albeit with aromas wrapped in cassis and vanilla oak, the palate generously and powerfully warm-climate thanks to its blend of Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and Wrattonbully fruit. The vanilla-infused blackberry and cassis flavours are lightly dusted with a leafy quality, suggesting both Cabernet and a cooler or more early-picked element for a twist of freshness and complexity. The tannins here at the moment are firm and chewy in a savoury structure, derived both from a veneer of new French and American oak - given that there was no Bin 707 in 2017 (made but relegated) - and from the grape itself. Boeuf en daube would not go amiss. (Drink between 2021-2030)

There's no Bin 707 from the 2017 vintage, so that fruit has been put into the 2017 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a lifted, perfumed style of Cabernet aged in both French and American hogsheads, with leafy, minty accents and Ribena-like cassis notes. Medium to full-bodied, it has a velvety texture and a soft, approachable finish, tinged with vanilla and dried spices. A blend of fruit from Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and Wrattonbully. - Joe Czerwinski
